Description Con Kolivas 2016-05-26 23:55:00 UTC

When selecting "New session" from the logout options, each time I've finished with a new session and logged out of it, more and more "Switch user" with the tag "unused" underneath appear it as options. None of these are functional if I try to click on them as they lead to non-existent terminals (it would appear).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new session and switch to it
2. Log out of new session
3. Choose to create a new session again

Actual Results:  
"Unused" entries accumulate in the selection window

Expected Results:  
Only existing logins/entries with terminals should be there

I don't know what component this belongs to (screen locker?) but it's not the Task Manager.

That's probably KDisplayManager doing weird things, or logind telling us rubbish. Or, well, you really have tons of unused sessions :)

Comment 4 Con Kolivas 2016-06-02 09:27:43 UTC

So what exactly is an unused session and why is it there at all? Where do I go from here on this issue?

It has gone away in my latest ubuntu so I'm closing this bug myself.
